Woodland Hills Academy Reviews

1. What are your students learning when they see stolen shopping carts from Target on the school grounds. I know you will tell me they were there when you took over the school but they are still there so are still promoting a negative message.
2. Your fence advertising, while being a fundraiser, puts the drivers in an awkward position. I can't read the signs, and control my vehicle and avoid hitting your students all at the same time. The freeway ramp is way too close to your school for this to be done safely.
Thank you for your time in reading this - I am a neighbor who cares.

This is my first year here at wha, it is a very good school and i feel that parents did a great job finding it for me. Even though this is my first year at a public school, it helped me improve. My teachers are great, and i love the way our schedule was organized. The after school programs are also nice because it is a way to keep students from wandering out onto the streets. Plus, its free for us.
